*TIMING INDEX BELOW* Here we have a total unique triple analogue (or analog for our stateside friends) oscillator for the Eurorack format from Future Sound Systems. The OSC2 Recombination Engine has a master ‘Scissor’ oscillator that can audio rate switch, sync and glue waveforms together from separate positive and negative DNA oscillators. The Glue section is a VCA that merges the positive and negative waves at the rate of the Scissor with options for additional level modulation and mixing internal or external sounds with an added input.
It’s a massively varied unit with everything from soft and sweet sines and triangles working independently to a totally mad as a box of frogs noise oscillator and everything in between. Coaxing out digital DX style musical FM has been easy, it’s a total wizard with AM synthesis and the unique wave the waveform level VCAs work. So I look forward to further exploration.

**THIS VIDEO WAS SPONSORED BY FUTURE SOUND SYSTEMS** they have funded the creation of this demo video for their own module. Sponsorship in no ways gives anyone but me creative or technical control over the videos. I always have chosen to demo raw sounds and features and then get into musical examples with sound synthesis and patch tips, which Future Sound Systems were happy to support. Any questions, just ask.
